AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Super - the image is incredible and the words match perfectly!

Now these photographs are riveting, Gemma!

Such a brilliant idea you have for the words.

Once again, you have proven that there's no ordinary word for fecund minds like you are, making them extraordinarily special in both the images and your verse.

I wish you well.
